Index
"A wonderful collection of discussions written by major
commentators on a diverse and wide-ranging set of philosophers. A
superb sourcebook including helpful bibliographies." Michael
Hodges, Vanderbilt University

"These expert and accessible essays range very widely, covering
not only the familiar Anglo-American and Continental figures but
thinkers from the Eastern tradition as well. Among the delights of
the book are the many happy juxtapositions its alphabetical
ordering presents. Thus the profound metaphysician Spinoza appears
next to the profound anti-metaphysician Wittgenstein, and then one
essay later we are given Zhuangzi - more familiarly, Chuang
Tzu - a sage of an entirely different kind. Altogether a
fascinating and enlightening collection." John V. Canfield,
University of Toronto
